Trade wind, take me home
To the land where I belong
Trade wind to blow me home
Never more to ever roam
My sweetheart's name is Sally Brown
She used to live in Nassau town
In a jealous fight, I shot a man
Now I have to run away to
a far -off land
So I roamed and I roamed
for a long, long time
Trying to find peace of mind
Oh, how I long for my Sally Brown
But she's far away in Nassau town
Trade winds, take me home,
to the land, where I belong
Trade winds blow me home
Never more to ever roam
I travelled far and I travelled wide
And still I found no place to hide
So I returned to meet my fate
In a gloomy jail, now I wait
My running away made no sense
The judges said it was self -defense
So I settled down with my Sally Brown
And we lived together in Nassau town
Trade winds, take me home,
to the land where I belong
Trade winds blow me home
Never more to ever roam
